Exclusive: Pink opens up about raising her children Jameson Moon and Willow Sage

She might be a Grammy-winning pop star known for her brazen attitude and tomboyish style, but Alecia Moore — professionally known asPink— admits she’s just taking it “day by day” when it comes to being a mom to her two kids Jameson Moon, 15 months, andWillow Sage, 6½, with husbandCarey Hart.

Currently on herBeautiful Trauma tour, Pink, 38, describes her own upbringing in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, as “free range, I guess.”

“My mum worked full time and went to school full time. My dad was an insurance salesman,” she says. “My brother and I rode bikes to schooland played in thewoods all day. Lots of rescuing animals, tree climbing, sports, gymnastics. I had a good childhood.”

With her own kids, she has embraced more of an attachment parenting style. “Yeah, I believe in affection,” she says. “I believe in needs being met and faith being implemented, and Ibelieve in letting your kids knowthey can count on you, and that you’ll be there. My parents obviously did not believe in that and I worked out okay. I always tell Willow, ‘I’m going to teach you the rules so that you’ll know how and when to break them.’ ”

The singer also strives to create a gender-neutral environment for her brood. “Absolutely. [But] I feel like gender-neutral is in itself a label and I’m label-less,” she says. “Idon’t like labels at allso I believe that a woman and a girl can do anything.”

More than anything, Pink says she believes in “fairness and justice. And I believe that a boy can do anything. So I have boys that flip dirt bikes and I have boy friends that wear dresses. It’s all okay to me. It’s whatever floats your boat. So that’s the kind of house that we live in.”

As for her children’s future, Pink is more concerned with “just the world that we live in,” she says. “I have so manyworries and fears as a parent. I’m such a worrier. They’re going to be fine. They chose this family. They know what they’re doing. But the world, I don’t know if the world’s going to be fine, and so I pray a lot. I cry a lot. I talk to them a lot. I hope a lot. I curse a lot.”

For now, she and Hart, 42, “try not to take life too terribly seriously,” Pink adds. “We laugh a lot. It’sall about our family unitand time spent together, and much less about external stuff.”
